A Pirate Adventure~ Part 1

Ahoy thar, Maties! I’ve been feeling pirate-y lately (ever since Talk Like A Pirate Day) and I decided to give you a Pirate Photostory Series! This series will be over 3 parts and I know you will love it!
This series stars:Kirsten as Captain Elinor McGovernAnnika as Victoria FarnsworthKanani as CelesteSaige as Juliet

Let the story- BEGIN!!

“Hello, ladies! My name is Victoria- Victoria Farnsworth. I live in a small town called Aztec in a mansion with my mother and father. I am going to tell you a story that includes myself, pirates, and gold.
A few months ago now I was relaxing in our parlor on a Saturday night with my mother and father. All was well and pleasant until loud (and I mean LOUD) knocking sounded at the door! My father opened up and a Pirate Captain came barging in! She said, “Ahoy! I am Captain Elinor McGovern. I’m sorry to burst in like this sir, but I’m looking for a key- A key that opens a very valuable chest.”
“A key for a chest?” My father asked, “Why in the world would you come searching here for it?”
Suddenly I remembered I found a key on the beach. I gasped! “It must be the one she’s looking for!”
“I have it! I found it on the beach just yesterday.” I said, not realizing what I was getting myself into.
Before I knew it I volunteered to go with her and her crew in search of some treasure chest. And my adventure began…

“Celeste! Juliet! Make sure all preparations are in order for our passenger!” Captain McGovern ordered.
“Aye, aye, Captain!” Celeste and Juliet replied in unison.

“What exactly is it we’re going after? Isn’t it just an ol’ ordinary treasure chest?” Juliet wondered.
“I dunno, Jules. The Cap’n seems to be acting a bit strange if you ask me.” Celeste replied.

I climbed aboard the ship. I couldn’t believe how (you think I’m going to say big, don’t you?) small it was! I expected it to be huge!

“Ahoy, matie! You ever been aboard a ship before?” Captain McGovern asked me.
“No, I haven’t, Ma’m.” I replied.
“Have you ever been on any adventures?” the Captain asked me.
“No, Ma’m. I’ve never left town before.” I replied.
“Hmmm… This could be a problem.” She muttered to herself.
“I beg your pardon?” I asked. She cleared her throat.
“Nevermind, missy! Would you like to stay on deck as we pull out?” She asked.
“Yes, ma’m, I would. My parents are going to wave me off.” I replied. Why did she seem so suspicious?

“Raise the main sail! Celeste, you take the wheel!” The Captain was yelling out orders.
I knew as we departed that I wouldn’t see my parents for a long time.
Just as a tear was about to trickle down my cheek the Captain said,
“Miss Farnsworth! You may go below deck now- it is going to be your room. I will send Celeste in with some blankets shortly.”
She sure loved to boss people around! I wanted to stay on deck still! Oh, well.

I walked down the steps and went below deck.

“Boy, it sure is dark down here.” I thought aloud.

Celeste came down with some blankets.
“Here ya go. The captain said to make up a bed for yourself and get some rest.” Celeste ordered.
“No, I think I’ll go on deck for a while.” I replied.
“The captain insists! You’re not used to this sort of thing and she’s going to need you to be strong and well rested. Now get some sleep!” She said as she walked up the steps.

I did what I could to make up a bed with the blankets Celeste gave me. It sure wasn’t a soft mattress or a feather pillow!

I snuggled under the blanket and went to sleep. I had a feeling I was going to have a big day tomorrow…

That’s all for now, folks! Look for part 2 coming tomorrow! 😀~Jaclynn~

Aww! Thank you! 😀
I get hyperventilated over stories XD I can’t help myself XD I looove stories that keep me at the edge of my seat. Will they capture Victoria? Sell her for gold? trick her into getting the treasure for them?!

LOLOLOL!! Well, you’ll just have to wait and see! 😀
Now that I think about it- one or two of those things may happen. But it wouldn’t take place for another few parts yet 😉
Gonna work on posting part 2 in a sec! 😀
~Jaclynn~

I just posted it! It took a while to get it up because…….you guessed it! We watched three episodes of LHOP! (we had watched them all before though) Josefina is such a cute little model! I gave her an adorable new parts and stuck her little thumb in the pockets of her jeans. She is soooo adorable in the pretty fall leaves!
~Madison

Haha! Okay I have a really weird “need” Okay, no to weird I have been looking at the catalogs I have and a doll caught my eye Can you guess? I’m going to ask for her for my B-day or Christmas! Most probably my B-day because I’m asking for something else (of topic thing) that does no include anything doll related.
Ooh when are you going to put part two on the blog?
Sorry for correcting you but I think you should fix this: when the captain is saying raise the main sail you said sale instead of sail. Please don’t be offended I make mistakes all of the time!
-Grace AG Lover

Oh, really? Is it Molly or Emily? Saige? 😀
I’m gonna work on posting it right now. It miay take a little bit, though 😉
Oh, did I? Oops! LOLOL! I’ll go fix that right now! Thanks for pointing that out to me!
Oh, no- I’m not offended at all. I always laugh when I make typos 😛
~Jaclynn~

Nope. Nope. And Nope. It’s Caroline Abbot! My mom Also likes her!
Alright! I’m excited!
I have been keeping a blogging notebook and It is so fun!
I will most likely start one in 2 years Maybe one! I still need to get in the swing of homeschooling (I just started! {I am not in kindergarden though LOL!})
-Me to! I LOVE laughing at my silly typos!
N.E.E.D Caroline! LOL
-Grace AG Lover
P.S. I already have molly, Not that you knew that though! LOL I keep on spelling thuogh instead of though!

Yeah, I think that’s the one. I am annoyed ’cause AG won’t send us catalogs just because we don’t buy from them. 😛 But I ordered another one, so maybe we’ll get one. I did order one before and we got one…

Yeah, it is! I guess we have always got the holiday ones, but that’s it. 😛 Not the spring, summer, or fall. 😛 But my grandparents are really nice and send us theirs. But they only usually get the holiday one, too.
Yeah, maybe I’ll get it today. But did you know that you have to be an adult to order one?
Yeah, me too!!! Do you if they’ll make a HC next year? I am assuming they will, but I haven’t heard much.

Oh, that’s weird! Is it cause you don’t buy from AG?
That’s nice of them
I was able to order one for grandma online. I just needed permission 😉
I think so! I’m pretty sure I read something about that on DD. And in a comment somebody said that they saw AG had 2 names trademarked. So I’m thinking one is for the GOTY (obviously 😛 ) and the other for the next HC?
~Jaclynn~

(I don’t mean to intrude I just wanted to say something)
IT SEEMS LIKE EVERYONE HAS GOTTEN THE CATALOGUE EXCEPT ME!!! AHHH! I didn’t get the Fall one, or the new one! I am like…”WHAT HAPPENED?!” I don’t think we’re subscribed to the catalogue, is there is such thing. The last time I got a catalogue was when I bought something from AG. Soooooo not fair. -__-

Yeah, that’s actually a good name! We named one of the My AG’s Isabelle(you remember that I told you that we named all the My AG’s, right?
I like version of it too. But I hope it is NOT Teagan or Blanche. 😛
Do you know anything about the HC’s time period? I suppose anything would probably be on Doll Diaries, but…

Oh, you did? Yes, I do remember, but I don’t remember their names- hehe! 😛
Yeah, I’ve never even heard the name Teagan before! 😛
I think I read it’s supposed to be 1950’s or something. I remember it was close to Molly’s time period 😉
Hehe! Yeah, it’s hard to read through hundreds of comments! I just choose a couple pages of comments and go from there 😀
~Jaclynn~

hehe! Yeah, I wouldn’t expect you to. 😉
Oh, really? I think it is all the rage(not ME!). Like PEOPLE really like it. 😛 Actually, I think we have a relative named that! 😛
Well, that makes sense in a way, since they are retiring Molly.

Oh my gosh! THE SUSPENSE IS KILLING ME!!!!!!!!!!!! At least I can just look ahead to the other posts 😀 😛
Anyways… I’M BACK!!!!!!!!!!!! YAY!!!!!!!!!!!!! 😀 😀 😀
So what I got at the AGP was:
Frosty Fair Isle outfit (not the puffy jacket)
Tropical Bloom outfit
Striped Hoodie outfit
Caroline’s Travel dress, and the Spencer and Hat
American Girl exclusive Tee shirt
The Blonde Braided Headband, although I couldn’t get it over Julie’s head! GRRR!
An exclusive cap for my friend
And finally………
The Paint Filly!! She’s SO CUTE!!! I still don’t know about a name though 😛
I decided not to get Emily, because I didn’t really like her that much when I saw her at the store, but I while I was it happened, and there I fell in love with another doll, though I didn’t get her………………………..
*Drumroll*
…Rebecca!!!!!!! I saw her face and I IMEDIATELY knew I HAD to get her! 😀
So what do you think? 😀
~Carli

LOLOLOL!
LOLOLOLOL!!!!
Oh I thought you had Caroline’s Travel Dress- I guess not!
Yeah, I’ve been dressing my dolls all morning! Julie is wearing Caroline’s Travel Dress, Spencer, and Hat, Kanani is wearing the AG exclusive T-shirt, Cecile is wearing the Tropical Bloom Outfit, Abbie is wearing the Frosty Fair Isle Oufit, Kitr is wearing the Striped Hoodie outfit, Saige is petting the Filly, and… that’s it 😛
Oh and by the way I have decided on a name for the Filly.
On behalf of all my dolls the Filly’s name is……………………..

Willow!
I had it down to just 2 names and finally decided on Willow! 😀
Well I was running short on cash, for one thing, and I wouldn’t have been able to et Caroline’s Spencer and Hat if I had got Rebecca 😉 But now I don’t have to go back and forth on the dolls that I want 😛 And I would have had to get the Sparkly Hair Pick too, and my parents would have had to pay for that, or I would have had to repay them, but they were already waiting for me, since my hour was up.
Well maybe, it kinda depends, my mom says that they don’t really have the money to get me another doll right now, so that could change, or it couldn’t. But I also want to see what the new GOTY looks like! That could also change my plans 😀 😛
Oh, and I have a little bit more info on the new GOTY!!
So we know she’s going to be a ballet dancer, and she’s going to have a movie, so a member of the cast has finally revealed herself!!
Her name is Erin Pitt, she’s 13 so she will be in the new GOTY “Blanche’s” movie. And she said on one of her youtube videos that she will have to dye her hair blonde for the GOTY movie. So that probably means a blonde GOTY. However she could be playing someone else and not have the roll of Blanche, so it also means there could not be a blonde GOTY after all!
But honestly, I don’t think I’d want a blonde GOTY, since they just came out with a blonde HC. So what are your thoughts?
LOLOL! Yep! You sure did!
Are you going to ask for a doll for Christmas?
~Carli

No, but I want it really bad! I just wish it was all sold together, you know? 😕
Aw, how cute!! I bet they all look adorable!! 😀
That’s a great name for her!
Oh, I see. That makes sense
You would use the hair pick on her? I’ve never used that for her… I wonder if I should give that a try! LOL! 😛
Oh, I understand. LOLOL! Yeah, I’m not sure if I’ll get her or not. It depends on what she looks like because by her story I don’t really want her. Hehe! 😛
Hmmm… very interesting. It might be somebody else, but I think it could be “Blanche”… It’s so hard to tell! 😀
They have a lot of blonde dolls, so I would rather see something different, but knowing AG she will probably be blonde 😛
Weeeellll, I’m thinking about asking for Samantha, but I haven’t made up my mind yet. I don’t know if I should ask for something else big and just buy Samantha with my own money, or if I should ask for her and buy the other something big with my own money. LOLOLOL!! It’s so hard to decide! I really want her, though… 😀
~Jaclynn~

Ugh! I know! I was telling my dad that they always sell things separately to get more money, and he agreed! It is not okay! We need a protest! We need 200 signatures! We need strike! We need the Senators on our side! We need the president on our side! We need all the countries in the WORLD on our side!!!!!!!!!!!!!! That’s kinda going overboard isn’t it? LOL! 😛
I think so! They always look so cute when they’re in something new! 😀 😛
Thank you! I was between 2 names, Salvation and Willow, I decided to draw names from a hat, but every time I picked Willow, I would say, “But Salvation is such a cute name!” And every time I would pick Salvation, I would say “Aw, but Willow is SO adorable!” So I waited until I got her and decided on Willow! 😀
Yeah, I think that’s what Liz uses, or she might finger curl, but AG recomends using the pick on her hair 😉
How do you do her hair?
Yeah, me too. If she has brown hair or black hair, or even red hair, then I’d get her, but if it was another blonde doll, I wouldn’t. It seems like alot of people are calling her a “Barbie” because she’s a blonde, and will most likely have blue eyes, and she’s a ballerina.
I know! AG is very unexpected in their ways of the GOTY 😛
Exactly! 3 of my dolls have blonde hair, and they look similar in ways! I’d rather have a differant GOTY, like one with a unique face mold or eye color! 😀
Right, knowing AG… 😛
LOLOLOL!! I see. Well I would get Samantha for Christmas and then save up for something big. Samantha could be around $200, or if you find her for a good price you might be able to find her for $100. So that would be a good thing for your parents to get for you, and saving up for something big is just like saving up for Samantha, only it probably would be easier. What big thing did you have in mind?
~Carli

Yes, I agree, too! 😀 LOLOLOLOLOL!!! You are so hilarious! 😀 😛
Oh, of course! I love to dress my dolls in new clothes 😀
Salvation is a good name, too! I think I like Willow for her, though
LOL! Totally something I do! 😛
Oh, wow! And I’ve always brushed it! No wonder her curls never look amazing!!
If she has red hair I don’t think I’d get her. I already have Felicity and Saige 😉
If she had black hair I might consider getting her, but it depends on her face- if she’s cute or not 😀
LOLOL! That’s funny!
LOLOLOLOL!! I know, right? 😛
Definitely!! I think I’d mostly wanna see black hair. I don’t have my own black haired doll
YES!! New face mold!! Like I thought they were gonna start being more creative when I saw Marie-Grace, but nope! 😛
Yeah, maybe you’re right
Oh, I don’t know. I was thinking of asking for the Stable and Supplies, Picasso, and maybe other big furniture pieces from AG. I think it’d be nice to have an official table for them to eat at. And I also LOVE Kit’s Washday Set and her stove!! So, yeah- I like a lot of big things! LOL! 😀
~Jaclynn~

Thank you! 😛 Yeah I went overboard 😛
Yeah, for some weird reason I think they look twice as cute when you first see them in the outfit and when you put them in it again, but I usually mix n match my outfts. so I mich not see them in the same outfit for another few months! 😛
Yeah I do too! I know a horse named Salvation and her owners call her “Sal” and I just feel in love with that name the more they said it! But I liked Willow better for the Filly.
LOL! Yeah, I have a habit of doing it 😛
Oh you haven’t? Huh, I thouht you did. Do you have the pick?
Oh I see
Yeah I’d like black hair, but I’d be okay with red or brown hair too, especially if she looked like ME!!!!!! 😛
Oh you don’t? Oh that’s right, Addy and Josefina are your sister’s dolls. I forgot 😛
LOL! I know right?! They would have thought of that if they had any imagination. 😛
LOL! Yeah you do, but pretty much everything you have said I like too! Only I wouldn’t need the stables and supplies, I already have one. But I would LOVE to have Kit’s stove! It would be so cool for my girls to have a place to cook! But I might like one of GOTY 2014’s big items, but I kinda doubt it, since she’s a ballerina. Unless she has the coolest bed EVER!!!!!!!!!! But I don’t usually get beds 😛
And by the way, for Christmas, I have decided to save up for Rebecca, with my own money and a gift certificate maybe, then wait until GOTY 2014 comes out and then decide who I want! 😀
~Carli

LOLOLOL! Yeah, I think so! 😀 😛
Yeah, I think so, too! LOLOL! 😛
I do, too! It is a great name for a horse, though! Maybe you could get Steps High and change his name to Salvation! 😛
LOLOLOL! That would be so cool to have a doll that looked exactly like me! I’d love that! 😀 😛
Right 😉
LOLOLOLOL!!! 😀
What? You do? What stable is it?!?!? 😀
I know, right? It’s so old fashion and cute!
Hehe- I doubt I will, too. I’m not very excited for her 😕
LOLOLOL!! Me either! Their beds are too small and would take up too much space for just one doll to sleep in it 😛
Oh, okay! That’s a good idea! LOLOL! Sounds like me! 😀 😛
~Jaclynn~

LOLOL!
Hehe! That’s actually not a bad idea, cause the horse Salvation acutally kinda looks like Steps High! And I’m not to fond of the name “Steps High”. Or I could get Sparks Flying and name her Salvation if I don’t get Steps High! 😀 😛
Yeah it would be awesome! I need to request a doll with light long brown hair, brown eyes, and side bangs and she’d be my look-alike! But I think we’ve got a blonde GOTY coming
Well I actually made my stable out of cardboard. So I got a corner piece of cardboard, and covered it with scrapbook paper to look like a stable. And you could do a floor to the stable, but I didn’t. Then I put it with differant accesories and I was done! The nice part about this stable is after your done playing, it all folds up neatly until next time! 😀
Yeah, and it would really add some character to my doll’s house! 😀
I know, the last thing I want is a blonde ballerina. I know AG has been focased on differant things than dancing, but I honestly don’t think it’s very creative.
LOL! That’s true! My sister actually gave me a doll bed for my birthday that she found for a dollar at a garage sale, and it was actually an Ikea doll bed that is $20 I think! So I painted it, make a board for the mattress to go on, made a matress and a bedspread and pillows! It sits at the corner of the doll room, but I saved it for my next new addition to the family! 😀
Thank you! I wanted to save my giftcard because last year I spent it before the new GOTY came out, and then I saw Saige and I knew I HAD to get her, but I had already had the stuff for a few weeks But it all turned out right, and I’m now glad I got what I got! 😀
~Carli

Oh, that’s perfect! 😀
Is Sparks Flying the foal? I can’t remember! 😛
Yeah, I think so, too! 😕
Oh, my gosh! That is so cool! 😀
I don’t think so either. They need to do something else! 😛
Wow! That’s awesome!! Hehe! And will that be Rebecca? 😀
Oh, I see! I don’t like it when that happens to me!
Hehe! That’s good! 😀
~Jaclynn~

Yeah, she’s Step’s High’s foal, she looks alot like Picasso to me, only she has a black main 😉
Thanks! But just so you know, I didn’t think of that myself, I saw a video on Youtube
Exactly! Get creative AG! 😛
Yeah, I think so, unless I find a differant doll that I HAVE to have! 😀 😛
I didn’t like it either, when I saw Saige, I was like “You have GOT to be kidding me!” 😛
~Carli

Aw! I NEED Marie-Grace’s Summer Outfit! It would look PERFECT for Cecile! Do you think they’ll bring it back in the summer? (not anywhere on AG…) I mean, you’d think so, right? I really hope so, I really do! it is sooo beautiful!

Oooh, she would look pretty in that! Oh, my gosh, I need to try that on her 😀
Hmm.. I’m not sure. Didn’t they have it on in the summer, take it down, and then put it on again last summer? Maybe they’ll do that again
It is very pretty!! I LOOOVE the colors! 😀
~Jaclynn~

IKR! Ever since I saw it, I’m like “I NEED THAT FOR CECILE!” never got to getting it for her….
I think that’s what they did, I’m not sure either.
I know right! Does it come with the boots and hat?
